Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your motorcycle and make sure any
problem you find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must, not only for
safety, but because having a breakdown, or even a flat tire, can be a major
inconvenience.
Check the following items before you get on the motorcycle:
Walk around your motorcycle and look for anything that appears
unusual, such as a leak or loose cable.
Make sure the headlight, brakelight, taillight, and turn signals are
working properly.
Look at the tires. If a tire appears low, use an air pressure gauge
to check its pressure. Also look for signs of excessive wear
(page
) or damage to the tires and wheels.
